Sheffield Steele

When I was a young boy the knickerbocker gloryhad with it a long spoon to scoop the residue.and later with bacon and cabbage and mashed potato, in Dublin, or on St. Patrick's Day, and color of carrot, I held tight the knife and fork, with Sheffield on its side.

And later growing up at parties and dinners that namewas there too on the side. And then having searched theology and philosophy I lookedfor residue with a longer spoon and sought Freud and Lacan.From Dublin Port, to Liverpool and then to Sheffield.Western Bank, Red Brick, Firth Court, Octagon, Royal Hallasham, down Glossop Road. Place names of memory and residue.

Now I see the parchment'having fulfilled the requirement prescribed by Ordinances and afterdue examination was admitted to the degree of Master of Arts in Psychoanalytic Studies'.With Sheffield on the mast.
